MG 4 EXTD Range vs XPOWER
Verdict
At RM128,888 versus RM138,888, this is not a simple upgrade ladder. The RM10,000 gap buys the MG 4 XPOWER a second motor, all-wheel drive, 429 hp and a 3.8-second 0-100 km/h time. But the MG 4 EXTD Range has the bigger 77.0 kWh battery and 520 km range, against 64.0 kWh and 385 km. For distance-first Malaysian use, the cheaper car's 135 km extra range and RM240 road tax make more sense than paying for outright pace.
Pick the MG 4 EXTD Range if you want the longest range, lower yearly road tax and rear-wheel-drive single-motor layout over outright pace.
Pick the MG 4 XPOWER if you will trade 135 km of range and RM375 extra annual road tax for dual-motor AWD and 3.8-second acceleration.
